How to grow phalaenopsis

Growing flower is something that is more specific to women than men and this can surely be confirmed by my mother, who has been trying for years to grow a lot of them. Well, if you are someone that loves phalaenopsis and you would like to know what to do in order to grow them, then I will tell you some of the secrets that stand behind this.

 

First of all, you should know that they are also called moth orchids as well and another interesting thing is that they are plants that are just growing from 1 stem. This is a plant that basically has around fifty species which are divided into 2 groups. The first group is made out of plants that have their flowers in a round shape and also feature a stem that is longer than what the others have. When it comes to the other, it doesn’t feature long, but short stems and the flowers they have are similar to wax.

 

If you would like to have such plants grown, you will have to know that light areas are the ones you will have the best luck of achieving this in. An important detail to remember is that they are not actually fans of the sunlight, so you will need to have them in an enclosure that boasts off artificial light. If you want to check on the plants and see if they are healthy, you will only need to take a look at their leaves and see if they have a darker nuance of green.

 

Be careful though with the temperature as well, as it can easily kill the flowers if you don’t take it too seriously. It is recommended that you will have these types of flowers grown in a temperature stacked between twenty and thirty five degrees Celsius. More to that, these are plants that can stand a lot of humidity, so it would be no problem to have them in such an environment.

 

One thing to keep in mind is that these are plants that actually don’t love drought that much and that is why you will need to ensure the fact that you have them supplied with water from time to time. You will have to water them at least 1 per week, as it is very much recommended to do so.
